Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0880202A2] An electrical connector (e.g., a plug or receptacle for a plug) has multiple conductors that carry two or more transmission paths, where each transmission path uses (at least) two conductors to carry a balanced signal. A portion of the like conductors of one type are grouped together and separated from a portion of like conductors of another type. For example, in one embodiment, the electrical connector is a plug having contacts used to terminate a multi-wire cable carrying up to four voice or data signal transmission paths and having four pairs of TIP-RING contacts, where a portion of the four TIP contacts are grouped together and a portion of the four RING contacts are grouped together and separated from the group of TIP contacts. In this way, electromagnetic (e.g., capacitive and/or inductive) coupling between like conductors (e.g., from TIP contact to TIP contact) will be generated that opposes electromagnetic coupling between unlike conductors (e.g., from TIP contact to RING contact) which may otherwise result in unacceptable levels of crosstalk between transmission paths in the electrical connector. <IMAGE>
